Home Again

This is the only picture we took while we were there, and we only got this one because I set up our timer. We LOVED our little trip to the beach and I highly recommend going in October if you have never been. It got warm enough in the day to wear a bathing suit for those so inclined (we were not among those), but it was still breezy and felt great. There were no waits at the restaurants, and we didn't feel pressured to stay on the beach all day. We could do whatever we wanted (watch mindless TV, nap a lot, and read). We ended up here on all three nights we were there. The highlight of our trip came on Sunday afternoon when we went to play putt-putt. I love putt-putt and cannot believe there are no more putt-putt courses here in Birmingham. Playing at Riverchase Golf and Games (Fun Country) and Magic Mountain are very fond memories from my childhood. Anyways, John and I got our clubs and balls (he chose orange of course for Auburn) and said that whoever won our putt-putt game would be a prediction for which team would win come November. On the 2nd hole, I was one stroke behind John. I caught up by hole 8 and we stayed tied until hole 18. This was the final hole-the one in which our balls would be eaten by the black hole. So the tie had to be broken here. John was not clutch and made the hole in 3 while I finished the hole with only 2 putts. I won...prediction for November...enough said :)

We had another doctor appt. today. I passed my glucose test, meaning I do not have gestational diabetes which is great! I have to start going to the doctor now every 2 weeks which seems crazy-I can't believe January is almost here. We started our prepared childbirth classes tonight. I do not have enough energy to post about it right now but I will definitely do the post justice by waiting until tomorrow.

John leaves in the morning for Auburn to meet up with some guys to head to West Virginia. I have a feeling I could get a pretty awesome video of John at tiger walk on Thursday if I were going-he will probably be totally insane. He said he is going to stand in the middle of the aisle if he has to to pump every player up. I think he is just trying to make sure he gets his money worth. He says that his one-liner for this tiger walk is going to be "The season starts NOW."
